NYC Mayor Mamdani Says He Has No Crypto—and Doesn’t Want Any

[nihalsari]

Zohran Mamdani said Monday that he does not own cryptocurrency and has no plans to invest in digital assets, drawing a clear line between his administration and crypto initiatives tied to his predecessor. Speaking to reporters, Mamdani also dismissed any interest in the recently launched NYC Token.

The remarks signal an early effort by the new mayor to distance himself from crypto-related controversies, particularly those linked to former Mayor Eric Adams, who unveiled the NYC Token just days earlier.
